I received your letter last night: and this afternoo
went to the Glass house Warehouse but found nobody there
As I was not certain whether I should be able
to go then tomorrow, I would not put off writing
to you on that account —
Since you have been gone I have made considerable
additions to my abstract of Priestly's
book on Airs but have not finished it.
Mrr Poore has told me as a great secret
that Priestly since theythat publication of it has
made some very material discoveries, more
singular and important even than his first — One
of these is, that for of 2 Airs, which being
put together, unite, crystallise, and become a
solid. He has some of this solid now in
bottles, & will in due time exhibit the experiment-
before the Royal Society. Mr P.
had this from one of the 2 Secretaries of the Society.
It was with much difficulty that I could get
him to tell me of it, as nobody is to be supposed it is not intended in
these cases that any body shoud know any thing
of the matter, till the whole account comes to
be published together. It is natural for men
